Five years ago, Avery Truitt met Prince Colin of Brighton Kingdom. Five years ago, she fell in love. Five years ago, he broke her heart. Now, Avery's trying to find a coaching job as a volleyball coach. When she and her mother travel to Brighton to spend the Christmas season with her sister Susanna and brother-in-law, King Nathaniel. Susanna's pregnancy is helping to ease the sadness Avery has felt since her father's passing six months ago. Avery knows that she will have to see Prince Colin again. But she's not sure if her heart can take it. Prince Colin finds himself in the center of a centuries old tradition involving Cathedral City's Christmas Season, the Pembroke Chapel Bell, and the speculation regarding that he rang the bell to announce his engagement. Yet Colin's never really stopped loving Avery. Can he convince her that he's sorry for breaking her heart and to give him a second chance by marrying him on Christmas morning as the tradition dictates?

Ever since I read Once Upon a Prince, I have wanted Avery and Colin's story. I kept hoping that they'd end up together. Like the others in this series, I found this book to be utterly delightful.

I loved seeing how Avery has grown up from the teen she was in the first book to the beautiful, confident woman we see in this one. I also love how Colin readily admitted that he still loved her. While there were obstacles to overcome, I loved seeing how they both chose to follow their hearts.

This is by far a perfect conclusion to the Royal Wedding Series.

I received this book for free as part of the Booklook Blogger Program. I was not required to like the book, only give my honest opinion.

American heiress Corina Del Rey and Prince Stephen of Brighton secretly married over five years ago, right before Stephen went to war in Afghanistan. But when Stephen returns home, broken and wounded, he gives Corina her freedom. Corina lost her twin brother in the same battle that Stephen was wounded in. At a time when she needs her husband the most, he is pushing her away. Hurt and confused, Corina returns home to Georgia and attempts to put her life back together. Until Stephen shows up very unexpectedly one day. Prince Stephen thought that his marriage was over. He's a star rugby player and the days of war and romance are behind him. When his brother, King Nathaniel discovers a document that Stephen thought was buried, he has no choice but to contact Corina. Will this pair find their happily ever after or will they say good-bye to the love they once shared?

I have adored every single book in this series. This one was no exception. I literally dropped everything to read it. I think it may very be my favorite of the series.

I loved how both Corina and Stephen were bound by the same grief yet needed each other to move on. Their entire romance was so sweet. I loved how they kept being thrown together to make things right. I think what I loved the most was Stephen's breaking point.

I was so happy when Corina finally learned the truth of what happened to her brother and that she was willing to forgive those involved. Those answers brought healing to her family as well.

This is a series that I highly recommend for anyone who loves fairy tales and happy endings.

I received this book for free from the Booklook Bloggers program for the purpose of reviewing. My thoughts and opinions are my own.
